Just Give Us Four Months!

In February Jack lost hours at work because of the surgeries I had to have. Two of them were planned surgeries but the one in the middle was not planned and resulted in a lot of extra time being taken off. Here is the best thing of all, the income we got from this company helped supplement all but about $50 that was lost.

How amazing is that? How amazing is God that He placed this in our lives?

Even though both of us pretty much took the whole month of February off from truly working our business. Even though Jack had to take unexpected and unpaid time off from his regular day job. We still got had money put into our bank account from this company.

So this is what we are doing this month. We decided to participate in a DMO game with our team from this company (Daily Mode of Operation). We decided that since we felt like we lost all of our ground in February and lost touch with so many, we needed to kick it into gear. That is exactly what we have been doing. Truly when you are pushing yourself and changing what you are doing, you see where you are lacking and where you need to step out of your comfort zone.

That being said here we are starting week three and it hit me hard today what a blessing we have. We have transformed our lives. We want to help transform yours!

We are looking for Ten People who want to change their health!
We are looking for Ten People who want to change their health and financial life!

• If you sign up for a TRIO (with or without a children’s health study) you will get $15 back from Think One Change next month.
• If you sign up for a Virtual Franchise and then a TRIO (with or without a children’s health study) you will get $30 back from Think One Change next month.
• If you are not interested in either right now but refer someone to me who ends up doing either of these you will get a $10 referral check next month from Think One Change (just make sure that whomever you refer gives me your name and you message me your address)!

For the last year I have been kicking myself for how long it took us to get going with this company. For the last year I have been hem hawing over really getting going. I have talked about it with others (because it just comes natural when something changes your life). I have written about it. Still we just didn’t pursue it the way we should have. That is changing.

We are looking for you and your family. We are looking for those who have tried everything and haven’t seen the change in their health they are hoping for. We are looking for stay at home parents, single parents, college students, teachers, doctors, nurses, anyone who wants to change their financial life and also their time. We are looking for you!

We want to help you become healthy. We want to help you improve your life. For years I looked for answers and never found them. There were a lot of moments I just wanted to give up and give in, but I didn’t. I just could not do it. I have children and a husband and I didn’t want to let them see me throw in the towel.

Thankfully there was someone who dripped on me and dripped on me and I finally gave it a chance. We want you to reach out. Ask us questions, let us help you! Just give us four months to help change your health! That isn’t a long time. In four months you are going to feel a difference. Every four months you are using it you are going to see a change.

It has changed our lives. Now we want to help you change yours.

Children’s Health Study

We started just over a year ago on our capsules and chews. One of the main things I wanted to do was to help my children. They were very much like their dad. While we attempted to eat healthy, if given a choice (or with daddy) they would pick pizza rolls, pizza, mac n cheese, chicken nuggets and hot dogs.

We did not have a lot of variety in the house unless mom went shopping! Then we added things like pineapple, apples, green beans, brussel sprouts and well you get the picture.

So one day on Facebook a friend posted about the CHS (Children’s Health Study). I was at my personal breaking point and I was fed up with arguing with the kids about what they would or would not eat. I reached out to her. Found out what was really involved. Walked away and prayed on it.

Was it worth paying for two adult portions to get two free kids duos for up to four years? It wasn’t really free. The company and the rep was actually paying for it so that the children could participate. So here I was, in this huge debate about if it was worth doing.

I complained on a regular basis that my children were not getting the nutrition they needed. They would take vitamins if I bought them, however it was a supplement. Plus no matter what I purchased for them, it had a warning label on it. That was a huge worry for me because my children love gummies and most vitamins come in gummy form or are like a candy. They overdose on that and I am in the ER with them.

Here was something that didn’t have a warning label on it. Here was a way to get them the nutrition they need from whole foods in the form of a gummy. They could overdose on it and I wouldn’t end up in the ER because of it. On top of all of that, for up to four years their product would be free.

What was I waiting for? Daddy to agree it was a good idea. Which he did, but it was more about me being at my breaking point than about the kiddos getting the nutrition they needed.

We are taught at such a young age that we need to eat good foods. We are what we eat. We hear it all to often, and yet most of us in this world don’t get what we need from the foods we eat. Even when we are making good and healthier choices, a good portion of us supplement what is lacking from vitamins. It sounds great at the time, but if you can take a product that is from food why wouldn’t you?

Our bodies were created to use food for nutrition and energy. Our bodies were not created to break down supplements to get the nutrition you need. If we were back when our grandparents or great-grandparents lived, if we were eating farm fresh foods, eating meats we had raised and processed ourselves, very little of these things would be needed.

In 1747 surgeon James Lind realized that something in citrus fruits could prevent scurvy. In 1912 biochemist Casimir Funk came up with the term “vit-amine”. He defined it as important substances in food that are vital for life – “vita” meaning life and “amine” from nitrogen compounds found in the thiamine (vitamin B-1). Finally in 1935 vitamin C became the first vitamin to be artificially synthesized by Dr. Tadeusz Reichstein.

The interesting thing about all of that is that as you read the history of supplements, all of these people realized that it was important for them to come from foods. They knew that and believed, “Ancient cultures understood the principle that a life force within the foods of nature could maintain human health and even restore it.”

Amazing that ancient cultures knew this, understood it, used it as best as they could and then all these doctors and scientists started to look for a way to get the important nutrition out of food and create a supplement with it. Why would they do that? Why wouldn’t they work on finding a way that would keep it the same, keep the nutritional value, keep it in a form that the body can fully use?

We did join the children’s health study. It has changed things in our house. It is a slow move but when your son turns down cupcakes and fruit drink at a school party and opts for cucumbers, carrots and water you know something is working! We still are not where I would like to be at but I am so much more confident in the nutrition they are getting now versus what they were getting before!

My family still makes unhealthy choices at times. I still get upset when daddy takes them to the gas station and they come home with a slushy. Still I am happy with the progress we have had with them. They are both eating more fruits and veggies. They are both making healthier choices, even when I am not standing right there. They are more willing to try new things and even sometimes they like it!

We do have a ways to go but change does not happen instantly. Change doesn’t happen overnight. We are making small, simple changes and they do take time. I am really thankful that we have the option to improve our family’s health with real foods. We have made the choice not to use supplements if we have the option to have a nutrition label.

I could go and pick up carrots, beets, broccoli, tomatoes and try to force feed my kiddos. Instead right now we are choosing to participate in the CHS. We are choosing to pull open the pouch of orchard, garden and pull out 2 chews from each and have them eat those instead. I do not have to fight with them. I do not have to argue with them. I don’t even have to watch them, it just goes in the mouth, down the throat and I know they are getting whole food based nutrition!

We are blessed and truly thankful for this opportunity! If you would like to learn more about what is involved with the children’s health study please contact us!

Happy Anniversary!

That is right. As of this week my family has been on Juice Plus for eight months! We have been making healthier choices for eight months (for the most part). We received our last shipment to make it a full year. What you are looking at is our four month supply of Juice Plus (minus the Complete shakes because those do not last me four months).

Juice Plus has been on my mind and heart for a long time now. Almost eight years. It took a long time for me to finally pull the trigger and get here. So thankful I finally did that in March!

Jack and I participate in the Children’s Health Study with Bella and Jack David. What we are doing for that is we get the children’s portion (orchard/garden) for free for up to four years as long as there is an adults purchased. Do you know what has happened in the last eight months with our doing the CHS?

My children are making healthier choices. They drink more water. They pick fruits over sugars. They still indulge at times but for the most part they are picking healthier things to eat. They are trying more veggies. Prior to this dinner time was a nightmare. It isn’t better every day at this point but it is much better than it was. I used to have to fight with them to take a single bite of a veggie. Now they are eating about a tablespoon of veggies at a time. It might be small progress but after just about eight years with Bella and four years with Jack David I will take baby steps! Happy Anniversary to us!

We make healthier choices as a family. We are outside doing more together. We have more energy. We go on walks. We go on bike rides. I get out in the yard and play soccer with them. We run up and down our big hill and have races. We are having an enjoyable time as a family. We went out to the lake this summer four times. Not only did we go to the lake, we walked out to the pier, we ran up and down the sand dunes and we have a pleasant time together. Happy Anniversary to us!

It has been eight months of my face not hurting. It has been eight months of my face getting less red and less bumpy. It has been eight months of less overall pain in my body. It has been eight months of my nails getting stronger. It has been eight months of having more energy. It has been eight months of me being more active. It has been eight months of me being happier. It has been eight months of me having smiles. It has been the best eight months I personally have had in over ten (plus) years! Happy Anniversary to us!

I am really excited that we are going into our final four month shipment. By the time we finish these four months we will have been on Juice Plus for a full year. It is so hard to believe it will be a full year. I truly can not wait to see where it takes us.

We are going to Disney World again next year. This time I am really excited about it. I will have energy. I will weight less. I will not be unprepared and out of shape. I will be happy and keeping up with my children. I had a great time last time we went but I was always in pain. My whole body hurt 24/7 and even though it was my happy place and a fabulous vacation, I overall was miserable. I can’t wait to head to Florida next year and to step into Disney World and be able to enjoy it!

Life has changed for us over the last eight months. I am very excited to see where it is going to take us. My body still has a lot of healing to do. I have beat it up for 41 years now! That is a long time to beat yourself up! 🙂 However I am now on the path of health, wellness and healing. Things don’t just happen overnight. It would be amazing if that was the case but I’ll take what I get.

Do you know what else Juice Plus has done for us over the past 8 months? It has provided extra income. We decided to do it as a business if we were going to use it. I am really happy we did. We are not only changing our health, we are helping others to change theirs! Do you know how excited that is?! For me it is really excited. I actually took time over this past week and wrote a thank you to all customers we have had over the last eight months! Thank you for trying it even if it didn’t work (we had some people who had food allergies they didn’t know about until they tried Juice Plus). Thank you for caring about your health and wellness. Thank you for being a dedicated customer.

I really do care about you and your health. I really do care about your family and how they are doing. I really want you to feel better, even if it doesn’t include Juice Plus or Young Living! You live near me and need someone to walk with? Let’s go! You live near me and need someone to keep you accountable? Let’s go! You don’t live close and still want my help? Phone call, text, facetime, facebook messenger call? Let’s do it!

I believe in you. I believe in your well being. I want you to be happy. I know what it is like to be miserable. I still have bad days but you know what, 90% of my days are 70% better than they have been in a long time now. I want that for you as well!

Juice Plus has given our family a new outlook over the past eight months. We have had our lives changed. We are happy with this eight month Happy Anniversary!

What can I help change for you over the next week, month, year? How can I help you be happier? How can I help you and your health?

No Sugar Bugs

So my Bella has bad teeth. She was born with reflux and her teeth developed brown spots and soft spots. Our amazing Dentist has been monitoring them since she was around 3. We have had to fill a couple of brown/soft spots because they broke through the surface.

Last October I took the three youngest in for their cleanings. Two got a clean bill of health and could just come back in April for a cleaning and one of them had two spots that were breaking through and would need to be filled at the next appointment.

So when I scheduled Bella’s appointment I made sure there was enough time for cleaning and fillings.

April got here and my oldest son went but the youngest two were sick. Then I never called back and rescheduled their appointments.

Fast forward through the summer months where I avoided the phone calls when they would call. Then would proceed to write myself a note to call them and stick it in my planner and realize after hours I never called. Call and leave them a message only to avoid their call again when it would ring.

This past week I set up all three of the younger ones with appointments. We are technically 53 weeks past the littles last appointment. I just scheduled a cleaning for both of them and figured I would set up her fillings for next week.

Guess what? No more soft spots*! The brown spots are still there but no soft spots. Let me also say my children are not the best at brushing teeth either. Over the past year we probably have had about 80% of them that didn’t include toothbrush to mouth contact.

There is only ONE thing that has changed in this time and that is we have added Juice Plus to our daily diets! It is filling the gap from what we are missing and what my children have not been doing. They have been drinking more water. They are making healthier choices in the snacks and foods they pick. They are branching out and trying new things.

If we only make one change for the next few years I will take it! The thing is while we have only made ONE change in what we are doing, my children and my family are making other healthier choices and most of the time they don’t even realize it!

Best thing of all is we are currently participating in the Children’s Health Study. If you haven’t heard about it here are the basics on how it works:

The way the Children’s Health Study works is simple. For every parent, grandparent, or other adult that signs up as a Juice Plus+® customer, the study provides Juice Plus+® Orchard Blend and Juice Plus+® Garden Blend free to a child, teenager, or college student for up to four years. At various intervals — after 4-8 months and then at the end of each year — adult participants are asked to fill out a voluntary survey to determine whether (and how) their families’ health habits have changed as a result of taking Juice Plus+®.

Interested in learning more or becoming involved in the ongoing CHS? I would love to talk to you!

*This does not mean that you can just take Juice Plus+ and not brush your teeth and have zero cavities. What this does mean is this time Juice Plus+ helped Bella’s gums and mouth, this time.

Work From Anywhere = A Bike!

So here is a bonus for me for the work I have been doing from home and anywhere and everywhere!

Not only have we been sharing our health, mind and spiritual journey, we have been working with customers and other reps to get their health journey going! So now we are adding that we have a financial journey we are on. It is so awesome and God really is so good!

As of yesterday I am down 20.2 pounds from where I started. As of the 8th it was 4 months from when we placed our first order of Juice Plus (our next order is on its ways to us now)!

Thanks to us being able to work anywhere, it has provided me with a new form of exercise! I will be able to ride the bike while camping. I will be able to go on bike rides with the kiddos while we are at home!

We have been very blessed by God and for that I am very grateful! I spent about 30 minutes tonight riding in a circle in our court with the two youngest!

I love that what we are doing in our family is providing in so many ways! We can take a week off and do not work and we still make an income and improve our health. We can go away for a week and work while on vacation and still improve our health.

How can I help you get to where you want to be? I would love to talk to you! I would love to help in anyway I can. Do you need to improve your overall health? Do you need to improve your spiritual health? Do you need to improve your financial health?

Lisa’s Story

Let me tell you all about Lisa. She is an amazing lady I have had the pleasure of getting to know thanks to our woman’s Bible study! She found us one day when it was a bad day for her. I would have said a long time ago, she found us on accident but the truth is she found us just when she needed us. God lead her to us and for that we are very thankful!

She started to have some health issues a while ago. She went to see her doctors and then her doctors started to send her to specialists. About a year ago she was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

We had hoped as her church family that getting a diagnosis would help. It seemed though that her treatments and the MS were causing her more complication. She ended up having to stop working.

The second half of last year she spent more time in the hospital than out, or so it seemed. She was losing her eye sight. She was having issues walking.

The beginning of this year seemed to start much the same way that the end of last year closed. She started another symptom and the doctors were not sure what was going on. It was swelling and painful to touch. Looked to me like she had shingles on her head and face and eye (I have had shingles before and so I felt super sorry for her). She ended up having to go to the U of M to figure out what was going on because it seemed her Doctors were stumped. Turned out a good portion of the symptoms she was having were from a treatment she was on.

A little over a month ago she started taking Juice Plus capsules. She enrolled her daughter in the Children’s Health Study; which meant she had to purchase the parents portion. This was all for her daughter, not for Lisa. Her daughter deals with headaches and has other things going on so we were hoping it would help give her some relief.

Today she got the best news she could ever get! She is able to go back to work part time! Her treatment was reduced some today. Her levels are within normal range. Her typical treatment lasts for 6 hours and today it was 3 hours!

She actually reached out to me to see if I could go and pick her up because her ride was still at work. It was the best thing ever!

Lisa is working on healing her body from the inside out! She is feeling better. She has more energy. She is able to accomplish more on a daily basis. She even shared with me when I picked her up that she hasn’t had to take a nap in the afternoon!

God is so good for putting health and wellness in our lives! He has given me the ability to share with others and He is using me for His purpose!

I will be forever grateful for the means He has been using to get our family health, happy and how He has been providing for us!

Happy Helper

Ever since we got Mindee Lou (August 2014) she has been in love with fresh fruits and veggies. No matter where she is, when you pull out a carrot, apple, cantaloup, watermelon, beans (and the list keeps on going);she is now right there with you. She sits next to you and looks at you with those adorable puppy dog eyes waiting for you to pass your treats on to her. She can’t wait for you to share with her! Carrots and apples are her favorites but honestly, if it is healthy she will gladly help you eat it.

Well ever since we started to fill the gap in the house she is always there the minute she smells them. That really was my first indication (other than the research I read) that these were real fruits and veggies. My pup who knows the real deal and loves the real deal smells them and comes running.

We fill them every Sunday night and she sits and watches, waiting for one to fall so she can grab it. She now even knows what the words mean! We keep the contains in my side drawer next to my bed. Each morning we sit on my bed and we take them together. When I call to the children, “It’s JP time” and she comes running, jumps up on the bed and sits and waits. Once Jack David did drop one, man is Mindee Lou fast! She got that gummy faster than anything. My poor little man didn’t have a chance of recovering it!

You always hear that dogs are a good judge of character! I guess that isn’t limited to just people, it also applies to health and wellness!

God has been good to us! We have been able to place natural non-toxic wellness boosters in our lives! I will be forever grateful for all He has done!

Rough Weekend

We had a very rough weekend and all of a sudden I realized something on Sunday afternoon.

From Friday to Saturday I had about 3 hours of sleep. Saturday was a very long and rough day because of an accident that took place. Spent a long time looking for a missing dog and the rest of the time at the hospital waiting. Saturday night lead to not much sleep because I hit my second wind.

Sunday was church and by the afternoon, making lunch, cleaning, getting ready for the next day of school and whatever else it could hold for us.

I was feeling a bit tired by the weekend but I all of a sudden realized I still had a good amount of energy. I should have wanted to lay down and do nothing but sleep.  

Coming off the week of my gift from God I am always exhausted. Then add to it the lack of sleep from the weekend emergency and normal life. That isn’t what I wanted though. I laid down thinking I was going to nap and I laid there.

It has been a month and I am seeing so many differences! Our children are seeing differences. My husband is seeing differences.

Are you ready for changes in your life? We are so excited for the things we are seeing. I can’t wait for us to get further down the road.

We are all living a life with a ton of chemicals. Some of them are toxic and some of them are non-toxic. We are on a path right now and we have eliminated most of the toxic chemicals from our home (I am sure we have some I haven’t tossed out yet). We are choosing to be healthy. We are choosing to put our health and lives first. We are choosing to pay for this stuff now and not later!

What choices are you making for yourself and your family?
